Tasting Notes
Perched at the highest point of the Bergaglio estate, Minaia is a site of old, low-yielding vines—some over 70 years—that thrive in the sunlit, breezy conditions between 330 and 400 metres altitude. This natural advantage delivers fruit with remarkable purity and depth. In the glass, the wine is poised and expressive, offering layers of orchard fruit and tropical hints, wrapped in a delicate veil of floral tones—think lime blossom, acacia, and wild herbs. A subtle thread of almond rounds out the palate, lending a graceful complexity to this vibrant, finely detailed expression. - Aaron C
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
